: Of Great nowsnaner rivalry. The

DAYS OF great newspaper rivalry. The
Whio, Times, Republican, Enquirer,
Sentinel, Examiner, and Dispatch
seven morning papers and the Eccning
.Buiietin--were all published daily.
In the course of ayear or two the Times
began to fail, and Cowardin & Ellyson
bonght its good will and title. The
Bulletin did not live long. The Err
ominor swallowed up the Rcpubiic in
1866, and about the same time tho En-
Quircr and Sentinel were unified. Later
on the Examiner was consolidated With
the Enquirer the title of Enquirer be-
ing retained until lS79-when that paper
expired. The Wing continues TO this
day, and there is new Times and
State.
DISPATCH COMPANY.
The firm Of Cowardin & Ellyson was
dissolved short time before the death
of Mr.. Cowardin I'm November, 1892,
and q stock company was formed with
the former owners as principal officers
Whether the Dispatch is fulfilling its
mission is for the public to say. The
patronage it receives is, however, an in
dication of approval.
The Dispatch has the best location in
the city. In the basement of the build
ing is a press-room 81 49, feet pitch
one of the best press-rooms in the coun-
try--and rising above this are four tall
stories.
On the first floor is the counting room
and rooms of the business manager,
editor-in-chief, city editor, and report
ers.
On the second is the job-oflice and
printers employed to set up and revise
the mailing lists.
On the third is the mailing-room and
Office for distribution of the city edition
20 the carriers, news-agents, sc.
On the fourth is the composing room
the place where the type are set, where
the proofs are read. where the forms are
made up, ready to be sent by n steam ele-
vator TO the press-room IN the basement.
The editions of the Dispatch are
daily, semi-weekly, and week. V the last
an eight-page paper. The Sunday issue
is also an eight-page paper.
THE DESPATCH COMPANY.
The officers Of the Dispatch Company
are:
c. OBJ. Cowardin, President;
H. X. Ellyson, Secretary and Trca-
surer;

Little Puck.

philadelphia Times, November ist.l
Frank Daniels, who made himself
famous as Old Sport in GA Rag Baby,
appeared at the Arch-Street Theatre last
night in an entirely different character
and scored pronounced success. a
few wears ago a humorous story was pub
ilshed called "Nice Versa" about staid
gentleman who, while holding tails
man in his hand, rather idly wished he
was boy again, and suddenly finds
himself transformed into the form and
substance OF his schoolboy son, while his
son took on the shape OF his father. In
spite OF his protests the old man is sent
back 10 school and is whipped by the
master, and bullied and maltreated by
the bows. While the old man is at school
the boy in his fathers form Is giving
grand dinners, lOTding il over the SER
wants, and making ducks and brakes o:
the old mans money. Taking this story
as starter, the authors Of Little
Puck" have made very funny farce
comedy, IA which Nj. Daniels takes the
part OF q New York stOck-brOker, who
gets transformed into his own son and is
sent back to school, while the boy in his
father form entcTtalEs the members Of
the corpS ia J0pet. Mr. Daniels is sup
ported 10y a very clever company, in-
GLIDING Miss BESSIE SAMSON, MSS R.llio
Deaves, Miss Louie X. Quinton, Miss
Florence Rowe, aud Charles w. Swain,
George Woodward. j. w. Summers,
Harry Mack. and robert Frazier. There

Of agile and mischieyous schoolboys.
wicket schoolmsster. red-nosed school
ma'am. a corpulent butler and lovesick
housekeepcE ard the keeper of dime
museum. There are bright songs and
good dancing and no end Of funny bcsi-
ness. The play belongs TO the same
general class as the L" Bunch Of Keys"
and other recent productions, which ARE
made to be funny and nothing else. 1t
is entirely clean and innocent, and kept
the audience IN a roar.

The mternal-reyenue authorities are

Boone county. He lived in what is
known as the Laurel Creek District, in
Boone, for ten years, and was ostensibly
engaged in the manufacture OF the

featured with his own hands and
burned ia a kiln or his premises.

THE ELssLRR CRAZE.
In 1910 Fanny Elssler came to this
country. She was managed by Chevalier
WIko1f, an American. ElsSler created
a Juror. Her progress was a series of
triumphs from one end of the country to
the other. Wikoif was regarded az an
admirable manager, and was said to have
carried the newspapers in one hand and
the managers in the other, and be-
tween the two he squeezed the public
But the press was not always hum
plugged by the Chevalier, and among
thosr who ridiculed Elssler on the stage
and in print WAS Joe Field, father Of
Kate Field but Fanny returned good
for evil, and she played for Joe's
benefit. She danced one of her popular
dances, the Smoleska," in New Or
leans The writer was in the st. Charles
Theatre and cav the performance, which
netted Joe over 81, 600. While in Boston
fair was held to aid the completion of
the Bunker-Hill monument. Fanny con.
tributed S569.50. The press of other
cities lampooned the " Hub for accent
ing it. On her first night in Philadelphia
she had to be struggled into the theatre
by the front door, so great was the crowd
at the back one. In Boston the people
laid siege to her hotel but in Baltimore
the admiring throng unhitched the
horses from her coach, in which she was
about to leave the theatre, and dragged
her to the hotel.
The divine Fanny was the rage. Men
of oil ranks were madly in love with her.
Journalists, authors, philosophers, diplo-
mats, artists. and even clergymen sought
the honor Of her acquaintance and We'd
with each other in their efforts To get
smile or even glance Of recognition.
